Please spay and neuter your pets! While your newborn pets are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless animals. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues/shelters, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

We have a small cat door that leads into the garage (previous homeowners installed it). When I come home for work our dog looks at me through the little transparent door as I pull in. Our 8 month old has been taking notes because now when I pull in, I see 2 noses in that window instead of 1.

My 18 month old son does that with our dog everyday. Here's them looking outside together with his arm around our dog, Grimlock. They are both obsessed with looking out the window. Before my son was born our dog tore off a section of the blinds just so he could see, we ended up raising the blinds so he couldn't destroy anymore.

My son used to run to the door every time someone would leave and he'd cry if he couldn't go outside with them. I think seeing our dog rush to the window convinced him that was the better option.

Now when my husband leaves for work our son will run to the window and will watch him leave. He's just now starting to wave goodbye and my husband says it breaks his heart to leave now.

Human kind can learn from this picture. We all always moving so fast, never taking time to take in what the world has to offer. You look at these two, just sitting, enjoying life and watching it all unravel. The simplicity is beautiful and it is something I think we can all learn from.
